qkrgusdb33 Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 I usually drag the scroll ( in piano roll or the main window ) with the mouse but I want to move the scroll around with the keyboard. I looked up the key command and I can't seem to find anything about it. Does it mean I cannot ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robinloops Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 Use < and > to move forward/backward. Works in main window but can’t remember if it does in piano roll. Also, if you open the key commands window, you can search for functions. In this case you could search forward or rewind, or scroll, transport, shuttle, etc. Then you can see what options are configured already as well as others that aren’t, that you can add your own custom key commands to.

fuzzfilth Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 You are aware that for this you can swipe up/down/left/right on the mouse and two-finger swipe on the trackpad, right ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robinloops Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 Oh, I just realized I misunderstood the question. I was referring to moving the play head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like dragging up and down or whatever with the mouse. I just want to scroll side ways with the arrow keys in my keyboard if that's possible..

robinloops Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 He doesn’t mean clicking and dragging. If you use a Magic Mouse you can scroll using the top of the mouse as a touch surface. The surface of the Magic Mouse works as a multidirectional scroll wheel. I think this is generally achieved with a two finger swipe but can be configured in mouse settings. As far as key commands, I don’t know if there are scroll commands but you could search for scroll in the commands window. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 What about using the "page" key commands? In the default U.S. key command preset they are assigned to: • fn-Right arrow ("End" on extended keyboard) = Page Right • fn-Left arrow ("Home" on extended keyboard) = Page Left Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there any other way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 Did you try the End and Home keys? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robinloops Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 By default the function keys are set to use special functions (volume up/down, brightness up/down, etc.). Then to actually get function key functions you have to press the fn key along with F1, F2, F3, and so on. You can change this behavior in keyboard settings. So that function keys work as function keys without a modifier (fn key). Then use the fn key to get the special functions (volume, brightness, etc.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
